"has Daniel was born in Ireland on a Tuesday of a Leap Year (?) and baptized as a Catholic. He fought as a soldier of the British Army in the battle at Alma in the Crimean War and was wounded four times. He was shot in the leg, the arm, the side and a good portion of his skull was blown off by a Russian shell. He was put on the "dead wagon". A nurse by the name of Margaret Donald, who worked with Florence Nightingale on the battlefield, noticed that he still had a pulse and pulled him from the wagon.
